Get ready for the holidays with these vegan Christmas cookie recipes. There are so many delicious favorites in this collection from chocolate crinkles to jam thumbprints to snickerdoodles.
Have you started thinking about Christmas cookies yet?
No pressure or anything…I just happen to love everything about Christmas so much that I’ve been listening to Christmas carols, hanging Christmas lights, and thinking about Christmas baking all weekend.
There are so many possibilities, aren’t there? And so many possibilities for vegan Christmas cookie recipes, too! Thank goodness.
Cutout cookies, gingerbread cookies, no-bakes, peanut butter balls, candy-ish cookies…ugh, I love them all. And when they’re all warm from the oven – that’s the best! A little hot cocoa, some cookies, the tree all lit up – it’s just perfect.
Clearly I will need to exercise some self-control though. As a food blogger, there tends to be an overload of sweets in my house during December. Thankfully we have some nice neighbors and my vegan brother and sister-in-law who are more than happy to take them off our hands. :)
I thought I’d do a big roundup of some super scrumptious vegan Christmas cookie recipes to help you get into the Christmas spirit!
